I am almost embarrassed to say that I have not quilted one stitch (or read one page) since before June. I have been busy organizing a national conference and it consumed all of my time. Now that it is over I can get back to what I want to do rather than what I have to do .... and, of course, I want to quilt.

I ordered a June Tailor Shape Cut ruler this past spring and used it for the first time today. I just love it! It made it so easy to cut the strips, once I figured out how to calculate the numbering for the strip widths. So easy to cut the full width strips - the ruler didn't slip and I could make a second and third cut without having to move the ruler.

This ruler is a keeper!

I got one of these when Walmart had them on Clearance. It is hanging up with my other rulers and I keep forgetting about it! Everybody raves about it so I need to just lay it on my table so I remember I have it!

I love my Shape Cut - all of them! I will warn you though that they do slip a little bit. Not so much that you may notice it but will show up in your piecing eventually. Its a good idea that when you finish cutting across once, it is a good idea to true up your edge again. You will no doubt find a little uneveness.

I love mine. It makes cutting so much more accurate and fast. Don't know what I ever did w/o it.
